fourteenth breath ✧ voice

[filtered from Sanji, though he's still not sure if he has the right idea]

Hey, uh... I don't suppose anyone's heard from Naoki since yesterday?

[Pause...]

Not that there's... probably any need to worry or anything. You know him - hanging out in the woods all the time... I bet he's hearing this right now.

Just, uh. You know. Let me know or something.

Uh-huh. So what, he's pissed at you or something?

Naoki? Pissed? [What concept is this...]

But I didn't do anything...

Beats me. I'm just stabbin' in the dark. [And bored. Oh so bored.]

Don't see why he would be... But he looked so serious...

You do got a talent for pissin' people off.

But... Naoki would never get that mad at me, would he?

[He shakes his head suddenly, though it doesn't carry over the journal.] No, he'll be back. I'm over-thinking this.

You all right? [Yeah, that's actual concern in Raph's voice. There was bait, and you totally didn't take it. That doesn't sit well with him at all.]

[Snapped.] Of course I'm all right! I'm not the one missing.

He's been gone a day. How freakin' bad could it be?

Right! I'm sure he's fine. I'm not that worried.

[He snorts.] You're a nervous wreck.

I am not! [He is.]

Yeah, you are. Take a pill or somethin'. Bet your mama'll be back in time ta tuck you in bed. Can't fall asleep without that goodnight kiss, am I right?

[And now he's chuckling just a little. He's trying to cheer you up...or something. Maybe.]

Oh shut up, you ass. [He's lacking good comebacks right now, sadly, but he sounds a bit more like himself.]

Seriously, the friends I have...

[That only makes him laugh harder. Now that's more like it.] You ask for it, man. You so ask for it.

Yeah, I'll write it on my forehead already.

How's Don doing, by the way?

Ah, he's fine. The campin' trip did him good.

That's good. I'd hate to have to deal with your mood swings any longer than necessary.

What's that supposed to mean? [Challenging. He was in a good mood a second ago. Don't mess with it.]

Nothing at all. I'm just messing with you.

Whatever. [It's a sensitive subject, okay?]

So your buddy answer you yet?

No... not yet.

He's probably... busy.

Maybe. [There's a thoughtful pause.] You ah...wanna drink? I ain't been in a while and I'm frickin' bored as hell.

[Not to mention all the stress they've been under lately. C'mon, you know you wanna. This's Raph trying to cheer you up.]

Plus you still gotta show me you ain't that much of a lightweight.

I... nah. Nah, some other time, maybe.

[Wouldn't do to be out and/or intoxicated if Naoki came back that evening, after all.]

Yeah, fine. Was thinkin' of going by myself anyways. [Yeah, he gets that. Rain check.]

Anyways. If somethin' goes down, hit me up. All right? I ain't one for owin' people favors.
